Released on Metal Blade Records, 'Fire...' comes with a dodgy pic on the back showing guitarist Alex Masi with nice hairy chest, but put that aside and guitar shredder's among you will find this album very worthy of your time. This is pretty beefy metal which sports Bernie K's oh so macho delivery and those solo's of Masi simply litter the record like some kind of drunken buzzing fly. Virtuoso performances and spiralling chords from nowhere brings to mind the likes of Vinni Vincent. It knows its good, and gets lost in itself sometimes but still always maintains a very metal edge. Extremely masculine and middle of the road lyrically, this clearly being a showcase for Masi's wizardry and although it's clearly of its time it is expertly crafted and frenetic and a surefire winner for those of you who like to stand in front of the mirror and play air guitar.
